If you're a Muslim who has neglected prayers for years, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of which prayers you need to catch up on and how to record them effectively. That's why I created this app - to help Muslims improve their spiritual practice and effectively manage their made-up prayers. With Qada Mate, you can easily calculate how many prayers you need to make up and record them by the day. The app provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to easily track your progress in making up prayers and see where you stand. You can use the app's statistics feature to get an overview of your prayers to catch up on and track your progress. The app also offers useful features like displaying your daily prayer times and determining your prayer direction. With these features, you can make sure you're directing your prayers at the right time and in the right direction to promote your spiritual well-being. I know how important it is to nurture our prayer life and improve our spiritual practice. That's why I developed Qada Mate to help Muslims effectively manage catch-up prayers and improve their spiritual practice. I hope the app helps you improve your prayer practice and record your made up prayers. Based on Issa & Nisrin's idea. With the help of Dalal, Rania, Karim, Walid, Muhammad, Mikail & Ghazi. May Allâh accept your deeds & increase them.

Verdict

The call

BaAlwi's advantage is ratings volume (942 vs 20). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
